depends on what music you mean.
do i find music like Hello Project, Johnny's, SM creative? Well, unless you mean creative in the sense that they "create" super groups, not so much. Mass produced songs, mass produced images even, given to pretty people to attract buyers isn't what I'd call musically creative. And that goes for girl and boy bands all over the world--it just happens that Asia seems to be the only one with hugely popular groups like this anymore.
Artists that take control of their image and know who they are and create moving music, art even, are creative. If all they do is sit their and sing a song that's handed to them over and over again, that isn't creative no matter what part of the world you're in. People may enjoy that music, but please don't claim that it's creative--or at least say you think the writer of the song is creative.
Enjoying or not enjoying music is different then thinking it's creative or uncreative.
For instance, I think Marilyn Manson is ridiculously creative. He speaks volumes with his music and videos and he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. But do I listen to his music? not at all. I don't like that type of music. But his lyrics and images are striking and they do something to stir the listener/watcher. It's inspiring and it makes me think.
And rap? Rap came from something that was extremely creative. it was originally used to express immense amounts of emotion, troubles, loneliness etc. even though eminem uses words that i don't like, some of his songs are genius and they have such sadness in them that pop songs don't have. (and to be honest, pop songs have just as much sex in them, it's just not as blunt.)
music lends itself to being used all over the world, influencing people of all kinds. saying all western music is uncreative, or vice versa, is stupidity. there are extremely creative and uncreative singers in asia and the west
